Wrong fuel in your BMW 325xi? Diesel in your Petrol BMW?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol BMW is a fairly typical problem. And its solution will depend on a number of factors. If perhaps you would like to find out what you ought to do about it then read on.
Let us discuss the key variables to consider whenever deciding whether or not to get your car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the BMW, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your BMW 325xi is usually about 63 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 325xi will more often than not not really be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that an amount under 3.15 litres (which is 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being completely diluted through thoroughly filling the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively uncommon to encounter a vehicle going through problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it's infrequent - definitely not impossible to find. There are certain vehicles that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 3.15 and 6.3 litres of Diesel in the BMW (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. When deciding whether or not to risk it and basically top it up remember that it is much like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.3 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 325xi ought to straight away be drained seeing that your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol BMW and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance issues as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your 325xi? In that case, get it removed regardless of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably likely result in increasing amounts of harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then simply just get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat connected with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you recognise any of them stop and get it removed as soon as possible.
